The Care of Living Art: Botanical Frames

Each bespoke botanical frame is a captured moment in time, meticulously preserved from life’s most meaningful chapters. To ensure your investment remains as vibrant and captivating as the day it arrived, please observe these refined preservation guidelines.

  • Avoid Direct Sunlight While natural light illuminates the home, direct sunlight is the natural enemy of organic pigments. To maintain the rich, original hues of your botanical art, display your frame in an elegantly shaded area or a space blessed exclusively with soft, indirect light.
  • Avoid Moisture Atmospheric moisture can compromise the delicate texture of preserved flora. We advise against hanging your piece in spaces prone to humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens. Instead, grace your hallways, living salons, or galleries with its presence, where the air remains cool and stable.
  • Avoid Excessive Heat Excessive heat from radiators, fireplaces, or intense spotlights can over-dry organic elements, rendering them brittle. Position your artwork away from direct heat sources to preserve the structural integrity of the flora.
  • Handling Though safely encased, pressed botanicals remain inherently delicate. When moving or adjusting your frame, lift it gently by the outer edges to prevent unnecessary pressure on the glass and archival backing.
  • Cleaning To restore the pristine clarity of the glass, simply sweep a dry, ultra-soft microfiber cloth across the surface. Never use liquid glass cleaners or harsh chemical sprays, as moisture can seep past the seal and irrevocably damage the botanicals within.
  • Periodic Inspection Over the years, micro-movements in a home can subtly affect a frame's seal. We recommend a brief, annual check to ensure the backing remains perfectly secure, keeping dust and ambient moisture entirely at bay.

A treasured memory deserves a lifetime of beauty. By observing these simple preservation rituals, your bespoke botanical art will endure as a timeless family heirloom.

Care Guidelines for Botanical Jewellery

Your SIÓG Botanicals jewellery is a wearable keepsake designed to be worn with love and handled with reverence. Moisture and chemicals are the catalysts for premature wear on precious metals and organic elements.

  • The Golden Rule: Always apply fragrances, cosmetics, and skincare before putting on your jewellery. Allow these products to fully absorb and dry into the skin first.
  • Keep it Dry: Always remove your necklace prior to showering, swimming, or exercising.
  • Sanctuary Storage: When not gracing your neck, store your piece in a dry environment—safely away from damp.
